California Redesigns Cesar Chavez Day: Farmworkers Day Replaces It
California leaders are rebranding the March thirty-first state holiday, swapping Cesar Chavez Day for Farmworkers Day. This move comes after a New York Times report revealed sexual assault allegations against Chavez from the nineteen sixties and seventies. Governor Gavin Newsom supports the change, calling it a welcome update. Reactions across the state have been swift, with events and holidays being renamed or canceled. The report details accounts of assault from Dolores Huerta and another woman. Newsom emphasizes that the farmworkers movement is about more than one person, and leaders plan to review streets, sites, and statues named for Chavez.
